Celebrity Chef Jose Andres has made a name for himself as a humanitarian, particularly in Puerto Rico after the island was hit by devastating hurricanes this past summer. To date, his organization José Andrés’s World Central Kitchen has served over 3 million meals to Puerto Ricans in need, more than any other organization.

Despite this, Andres was reportedly thrown out of Cafe Milano in Washington D.C. over the weekend, allegedly because he made guest Ivanka Trump feel uncomfortable.

In a new low for Washington, yesterday @chefjoseandres was asked to leave the Alfalfa dinner after-party at @CafeMilanoDC by its owner, Franco Nuschesse, apparently because his presence made Ivanka Trump uncomfortable (Cafe Milano is the watering hole of the Trump Admin).

Ivanka walked in ahead of him, not comfortable with his presence. Already inside. He’s approached and asked to come outside where Franco, who he knows perfectly well for many years, wants to talk to him. Once outside, he’s not allowed back in.

Unbelievable! I’ve been to @CafeMilanoDC with Jose Andres and had the dinner comped by Franco, because they are friends. Now asked to do the Trump’s dirty work and kick him out. Only in Washington. Correction, only Franco Nuschesse. Anyone else would have better sense.

That’s DC for you: a man who’s fed more Puerto Ricans than FEMA gets turned away from the Swamp’s cafeteria so that a bunch of corrupt grifters don’t feel uncomfortable while they try to get spotted in Playbook. https://t.co/GwJ9Ps3Bno

. @chefjoseandres, you are always welcome at @CafeMilanoDC when we are open and in fact, I will host you and toast to all your successes.I am sorry for the misunderstanding.Last night the restaurant was closed for a private Alfalfa Dinner after party...1/2

Without having been there, it's hard to know whether this was a simple misunderstanding, a lack of communication after-the-fact, a malicious removal, or something else entirely.

Instead of arguing ad infinitum, Andres instead decided to take a different path:

Thank you @IvankaTrump for reaching out. I believe now that you personally had nothing to do. Let’s now work on what’s important: Immigration reform, where #DACADreamers and Undocumented citizens will become part of a strong USA. With secure borders. With economic growth.👍🏼

Thank you @CafeMilanoDC and Franco for the apology. I understand was a “misunderstanding”. Still hard to understand why I was the only person not allowed in! Please people of @washingtondc keep supporting a great resturant institution. Now let’s all be friends. #USAforward
